Ocean Model Development for COAMPS

Abstract

The long-term goal is to develop a coupled ocean-atmosphere prediction system that can be used for hindcasting and forecasting coastal environments. This system is referred to as the Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS). The atmospheric component of this system is fully functional and was developed by the Atmospheric Dynamics and Prediction Branch of the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Monterey.
